Willard F. Harley, Jr., renowned for his marriage books, including the best-seller His Needs, Her Needs, now addresses singles seeking meaningful, lasting relationships in his latest work. He emphasizes that the foundation of a successful, lifelong partnership lies in identifying whether individuals are Freeloaders, Renters, or Buyers. Freeloaders, akin to uncooperative roommates, contribute little effort to the relationship. Renters approach relationships tentatively, offering care only under favorable conditions or until a better option arises. In contrast, Buyers view relationships as permanent and exclusive commitments. The book guides readers in assessing their Romantic Relationship Attitude and provides actionable strategies to encourage Freeloaders and Renters to evolve into committed Buyers. It features a Personal History Questionnaire to enhance self-awareness and understanding of partners, alongside Four Guidelines for Successful Negotiation to help couples maintain Buyer behaviors. These resources aim to empower singles to forge satisfying, exclusive, and enduring romantic unions that can stand the test of time.

Fiecare dintre noi are emoții și dorințe. Căsătoria funcționează bine doar atunci când soții își recunosc nevoile partenerului și învață să le îndeplinească. Dr. Harley a identificat zece dintre cele mai importante nevoi ale bărbaților și femeilor: * afecțiune, * comunicare, * onestitate și deschidere, * securitate financiară, * devotament față de familie, * satisfacție sexuală, * companie în timpul liber, * atractivitate, * stabilitate domestică, * admirație. El explică cum pot fi îndeplinite aceste nevoi. Diferențele de prioritate în evaluarea acestor nevoi emoționale sunt motivul pentru care este atât de dificil pentru bărbați și femei să se înțeleagă reciproc. Dacă oricare dintre cele cinci nevoi emoționale fundamentale ale partenerului nu este satisfăcută, acesta devine vulnerabil și mai predispus la tentația unei relații extraconjugale.
